Dear Class,
I'm so proud 
I was your Teacher.
I've watched you
learn and grow.
We worked so hard
and had such fun.
How fast the time did go!
Our year was interrupted,
and it seemed too soon to part.
Just know that you will
always have a special place 
within my heart!

Love, Mrs. Onorato

Dear Parents,

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart allowing me the privilege to teach your child this year. This is an amazing class. They were always so well behaved, played so well together, practiced acts of kindness and showed a great enthusiasm for learning. I loved being their teacher! I am so sorry that the year ended early for us in person. But I truly want to thank you all for making such a great effort to have your child come to our daily lessons on zoom. I loved seeing their smiling faces each day. I also appreciate all the      e-mails, pictures and videos so many of you sent to me on a regular basis. I know that we have worked hard together to prepare your child for Kindergarten.
 Please keep in touch and let me know how they do in Kindergarten. Always know that if you are moving on to a new school you are always welcome back if you change your mind. HNOM school is like a family and we hope you come back even if its just for a visit. Do not forget to register them for religious ed.

I wish you all the best. Have a happy, healthy and safe summer.
Love, Mrs. Onorato

Dear Parents, 

                       This is now the end of at home learning. This week we will only meet on Tuesday for a regular storytime. Wednesday will be our virtual Graduation Day!!

On Monday, June 15 there will be no storytime. We will be at Holy Name of Mary in the school yard so that you may drive up and get all the items left behind in school and more. Your pick up time is between 11:30 and 12:30. I am looking forward to seeing all of you!

I am so happy that so many of you came to my Storytime and lesson each day.                 I will miss you. 
                             
Love, Mrs. Onorato

I started it for you. 

 

This e-book may be useful to you. It is from Northwell Health to help explain to the children what is happening now. Thank you Mrs. Torres (Amelia's Mother) for sharing this with us.

There is so much fun and learning waiting for your child to experience!

This will be a fun and exciting year as your child prepares for Kindergarten. We will be learning about letters, numbers, shapes, colors, seasons, holidays, animals, community helpers, fire safety, nutrition, life cycles of a butterfly and frog, insects, dinosaurs, do STEM activites and so much more!

We will be learning all about Jesus and being kind to each other and how to be a "bucket filler"

"Start children on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it"
Proverb 22:6
